It won't pass the Senate anyway. And it may become moot if Michael Powell has his way by reclassifying broadband. February 15, 2002 FCC Seeks to Reclassify Wireline Broadband By Matthew Carolan The Federal Communications Commission on Thursday voted "tentatively" to reclassify wireline broadband services under existing regulatory structures. The move could have the effect of reducing regulations on major telecoms looking to roll out Digital Subscriber Line service nationally. The FCC announced that it has "tentatively concluded the wireline broadband Internet access services - whether provided over a third party's facilities or self-provisioned facilities - are information services, with a telecommunications component, rather than telecommunications services." The Commission will seek additional public comment on the issue. eweek.com
